Default Rear spring broadcast code decoding

Been sorting through a few excess C4 parts in the garage, and am trying to find the spring rate for a rear spring with the NYR broadcast code. Any help is appreciated, along with any chart information to help figure out what loose springs I might be looking at at the next swap meet.

Thanks,
Mike

The C4 suspension chart by Hib Halverson:

It's posted elsewhere as well.

Thank you for the quick reply. It's greatly appreciated. Hib Halverson's chart is very helpful going from RPO code to spring rate, but I've not seen a chart that converts the broadcast code to the spring rate. Unless I find this "second" chart sometime, I may request your help again trying to decode other springs too. (I have a few loose front springs just sitting on the shelf.)

Thanks again,
Mike

Because I'm a freak, and I have learned that information in my many years in working at a Corvette shop.
